Electronics Design Engineer, BMS

You will take ownership of the design of high-voltage battery management electronics used across Fuse’s energy storage and distributed energy platforms. You will work end-to-end from early concept and requirements definition through schematic and PCB layout, validation and deployment into production and fielded systems.

Responsibilities:

• Design, prototype, build and test high-voltage battery management electronics for Fuse Energy’s stationary storage and grid-connected systems
• Own end-to-end PCBA development, including requirements definition, schematic capture, PCB layout, design reviews and design for manufacturability
• Develop automated validation setups and test firmware/software to ensure comprehensive functional, performance and safety coverage of BMS designs
• Support the transition of designs from prototype to production, including supplier engagement, bring-up and production test strategy
• Collaborate with firmware and software engineers to define hardware–software interfaces, diagnostics and safety mechanisms
• Work closely with mechanical and systems engineers to ensure electrical designs are optimised for thermal performance, isolation and environmental constraints
• Perform detailed failure analysis and root-cause investigations on PCBAs and systems in both lab and field environments
• Evaluate, select and integrate battery monitoring ICs, microcontrollers, isolation components and communication interfaces suitable for high-voltage applications
• Continuously improve designs to optimise reliability, component availability and BOM cost as systems scale

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering or equivalent practical experience
• At least 5 years of hands-on industry experience in analog and digital electronics design
• Strong fundamentals in circuit analysis, simulation and design trade-off evaluation
• Proven experience designing and debugging complex PCBAs with excellent failure analysis and troubleshooting skills
• Solid proficiency in Python for test automation, validation and data analysis
• Experience in one or more of the following domains: battery management systems, power electronics, high-voltage systems, microcontrollers or high-speed digital interfaces
• Familiarity with communication interfaces commonly used in BMS and energy systems (e.g. CAN, RS485, Ethernet, SPI, I²C)
• Experience with Altium Designer and circuit simulation tools such as LTSpice
• Exposure to mechanical CAD tools (e.g. Fusion 360, SolidWorks or similar), rapid prototyping and close collaboration with mechanical design

Benefits:

• Competitive salary and an equity sign-on bonus
• Biannual bonus scheme
• Fully expensed tech to match your needs
• Paid annual leave
• Breakfast and dinner allowance for office based employees
